A hydrogen atom is in its ground state (n, = 1) when a photon impinges upon it. The atom absorbs the photon, which has precisely the energy required to raise the atom to the n, = 3 state. (a) What was the photon's energy (in eV)? 12.089 ev (b) Later, the atom returns to the ground state, emitting one or more photons in the process. Which of the following energies describes photons that might be emitted thus? (Select all that apply.) O 13.6 ev O 1.89 eV V 12.1 eV O 10.2 ev There are two ways a hydrogen atom in the n, = 3 state can end up in the ground state. In the first, all of the energy goes into one photon and the electron moves directly into the ground state. (What would be the energy of that photon?) In the other, the electron "descends" in two stages, each accompanied by the emission of a photon. (What would be the energies of those two photons?)
A visible (violet) emission spectral line for chromium (Cr) occurs at wavelength λ = 425.435 nm.What is the frequency (ν) of this light?(Mind the units carefully. Give your answers to six significant figures.)What is the magnitude of the energy change associated with the emission of one mole of photons of light with this wavelength?
Consider photons incident on a hydrogen atom. (a) A transition from the n = 4 to the n = 7 excited-state requires the absorption of a photon of what minimum energy? eV(b) A transition from the n = 1 ground state to the n = 6 excited state requires the absorption of a photon of what minimum energy?  eV
